Starting portainer ... done

Expected result

Check containers are running:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                           COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS                          PORTS                                                                                  NAMES
860311c00e62   portainer/portainer-ce:alpine   "/portainer -H unix:…"   54 seconds ago   Up 53 seconds                   8000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9000->9000/tcp, :::9000->9000/tcp                                    portainer

Navigate to http://localhost:9000 in your web browser to access the portainer web interface and create an account.

Stop the containers with

$ docker compose down
# To delete all data run:
$ docker compose down -v

Troubleshooting

• Select the correct image for your OS. You can take a look at the published tags at DockerHub

e.g. currently, the latest tag is for Windows (amd64) and alpine for Linux (amd64, arm/v7)
